Warriors Field Guide

Secrets of the Clans

The mystical origins and secret legends of the Clans. An insiders' tour of the Clan camps and territories. The histories and characters of each Clan, and information about their leaders and medicine cats. Knowledge of cats outside the Clans. The tenets of the warrior code. Prophecies and omens, and how they have been fulfilled.

And many more truths about the secrets, beliefs, and daily lives of the cats of the Clans.

Who doesn't like the inside information that is "top secret" and unknown by many? To be very fair, all of us must have invested some time, some where, involving what is not necessarily our own business but "interesting" to know. Here, one can without guilt plunge into the secrets of the four clans and see "never seen before" pictures and shots of clan life. Young readers, preferably ages 8 or 9, can feel a sense of honour as they are of the few fortunate enough to know certain things unknown to others.

It's a great, fantastic book, for people who are in the middle or begging of the series 2. But not for people who are on the last book, or beyond the second series. I was honestly expecting more pictures (At least one picture per specific thing like: Appetencies den, overview of the entire camp. etc.) and the 4 colored pictures, are just warrior covers like book 1 Season 1, book 2 Season 1. etc. But, I did really enjoy the map of the warrior's journey to Season 2's Lake. It wasn't in any of the Season 2 books, or 1! I also enjoyed the backstory of how the clans came to be. (But my friend told me that they missed SkyClan in the book). But over-all it's a good book for first-time Warrior's readers. Especially when they are on Season 2 Books 3 - 4!

Yes,I can't put these books down.I started reading Worriors when I flipped through the Sun Trail(it's the latest book right now,or I think),it's awesome.After that I just HAVE to read Into the Wild.I LOVE THIS SERRIES!!!

The book has a map of the forset, the lake and the route from the forest to the Clans new homes(the lake). There is a list of fighting moves including bellyrake. Medicine cat methods, information on significat leaders and medicine cats. It has the history of the clans and how they formed.

Quotes

"But it was my mistake and I had to live with it. And there was a part of me that still remembered him as a newborn kit-the tiny scrap of fur I had nursed in the hollow of a dead tree. When I had to kill him to protect my new adopted Clan, I knew I was finally at the end of my punishment. I had brought him into this world; I had to send him out as painful as it was. But by then I had found a truer son than Brokentail ever could have been. I only hope that Fireheart will rise to be the great leader that Brokenstar never was and that, in some small way, I have helped to set him on that path. Then, perhaps, StarClan will forgive me at last."
